The long-held notion that women have a higher tolerance for pain
than men do has been upended by a Stanford University study
released on Monday, January 23rd 2012. The report, published in The
Journal of Pain, was based on electronic medical records of more
than 11,000 adult patients at Stanford hospitals and clinics.

According to MercuryNews.com, Jeffrey Mogil, a
pain expert at McGill University in Montreal who was not involved
in the study, said: "What this paper does above and beyond what
came before is a matter of sheer size. In my mind, it puts the
story to bed forever."
